Dive Report: Flipside 4/1/09 I dived this site yesterday for the first time, i was amazed at the amount of dogfish that were on this reef, weather was cold and but dry, sea conditions were a state 0, underwater viz 9-10 meters. the only thing that ruined this dive was the amount of dogfish caught on old fishing line and hooks, i managed to get 3 off the hooks and untangle one but there was allot that were dead.
